FAQs

All our data is here – it’s going to be a nightmare?

Yes initially it may be a bit difficult, but if you break your project down you’ll see we won’t necessarily need it all to get the job done.

It’s going to be as time consuming to explain what we need as it will be to get on and do the work ourselves?

Initially this may be the case, but if you break the project down into chunks you will find it’s not going to be a daunting as you think. Outsourcing is an excellent way of reviewing the project at the very beginning and prioritising your resources. Even if you use Catwards to build your base data set – it can be enormously beneficial because your designers can get on with the ‘detail’ whilst we get on with the ‘whole’.
